@croation canadian, name calling??really??? O.k. I'll play.

your propensity to address my comment lacks even that of a halfwit. I get it, you the type of person who's narrow vision blurs his own comments. If you look at the evidence and you look at the route at which war achieved, you'll then see, that Serbia did NOT want war, their hand was forced.. Remember something you wannabe, all this was driven from Germany, the US and the vatican. The evidence is out there...you need to find it. Thanks for 1) speaking in absolutes..only frustrated, know-nothings speak in those terms 2) displaying your racist ways and showing your true colors and finally, just being a dick..congratulations from kindergarten..

More from Croatian Canadian: "Nedic was supplying Cetniks with Yugo money...if you don't see wrong in that you aren't objective...supplying Cetniks is to supply velika Srbija concept!"

There you go again with your Velika Srbija complex again. The Chetniks were formed to fight the Nazis and Ustasha after the Yugo army capitulated. They were formed to defend Serbs from being slaughtered and not to create a 'greater' anything.

"As per WW11, I'm not proud of atrocities but I am proud Croats refused communism. I cannot explain why Croatians contributed to Hitlers plan but I can assure you that the majority are not ok with what happened."

Croats didn't refuse communism? Did you forget about Tito? My god, do you really believe what you write? And what do you mean you can't explain why Croats sided with Hitler. It's because that was the fastest path to an ethnically pure Croatia and the elimination of all Serbs which was their stated goal. No real mystery there. And the only thing most Croats are not OK with is that Hitler lost. When this became inevitable, many thousands of Ustasha joined the Partizans. This wasn't because they believed in the communist ideology, but rather to save their butts, which goes back to one of your earlier comments about trustworthiness.

You really need to put down the Croatian Mythology books and start from scratch. It's not too late.

From Croatian Canadian: "this is hilarious: "Serbia NEVER wanted to go to war... "...so then who lead the Serbs to take hold of the police station in Knin, who bombarded Vukovar, who strolled into Slovenia, who attacked Dubrovnik.....China?"

Hey CC, you can't just start reciting the events of the war to suit your weak argument. Ask yourself what happened before Knin, Vukovar, etc. Tudjman was elected. Serbs were fired from their jobs, their property was destroyed, many were killed. Streets were renamed after Ustasha war criminals, etc. International law broken by Croatia. All this happened before the events you mentioned. Serbs did not want war - Croats did and you got it. Did you have a memory lapse or did you forget these events? Now worries, there are many here who will remind you.

"you're as delusional as it gets and you prove here why Serbian people are considered the same as Russians...untrustworthy!"

Untrustworthy? Where should I start? Maybe when the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats & Slovenes was created in 1918 when the Serbs naively took the Croats in only to be backstabbed by their efforts to undermine the country from day one? Or maybe we should ask your Muslim allies about the trustworthiness of the Croats. You know the allies you backstabbed and committed war crimes against. Go to Mostar and ask your former allies what they think of you. Nice try. Yeah, your neighbors really love you guys. LOL

@ Croation Canadian. This recent war was 100% initiated by Serbs and their aggression, no two ways about it. You can deny this as long as you wish, the facts remain clear on this topic.

What are you smoking?? Their is nothing clear on the topic??? it's convoluted, difficult and mired in lies, deception and horrendously slanted political journalism. Serbia NEVER wanted to go to war... Izebegovic and Tujdman on the other hand, had a choice and made a choice..or should I say, had that choice made for them.

you said: "Comparing Milan Nedic to the Ustasha is a commonly used Croatian tactic when you refuse to accept responsibity for Croat crimes"

Ridiculous, learn your history. Prince Paul of Yugoslavia signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler and within mere hours, he was overthrown by the people in Belgrade. Germany's response to this was to bomb Belgrade, divide Yugoslavia, empowering Croatians and Albanian clients (sound familiar?) and DIRECTLY militarily occupying Serbia.

So now its Serbia's fault that a much stronger power occupied and divided up the country, and because of that occupation, Serbia is responsible for any crimes committed against Jews? Serbia's response to this occupation was that it made up the overwhelming majority of the 2 largest anti-fascist groups in the region, the Chetniks and Partizans. And yes the Chetniks were anti-fascists and even had 2000 Bulgarian Jews fighting in their ranks http://www.jta.org/1942/08/09/archive/two-thousand-bulgarian-jews-reported-fighting-with-chetniks-in-serbia

Milan Nedic was literally one guy Germany found to act as an intermediary for the direct military Nazi occupation. He had no following, no supporters, he was imposed. Serbia for its part did everything it could to defeat Nazism in the Balkans.

Serbia literally has absolutely 0 responsibility for any crimes that were committed on its territory in the name of Nazism because the majority of those crimes were committed against Serbs. Croatia on the other hand wasn't bombed, wasn't occupied but was a strong ally of Nazi Germany. Big, big difference.

Milan Nedic was basically in charge of the police and administration of Serbia and the Germans never trusted him or any of his officials. “The announcement that Beograd was the first "Judenfrei" city in Europe was made by the Germans, Nedic had no say what was they announced.
Even official German records stated “The German forces held no respect for his (Nedic) authority”.
I love the way you Croats try and white wash Ustashi history, but it’s too late mate LOL.

From CC: "...as soon as someone bring's up the recent history and the recent atrocities that occurred at the hands of Serbs ...the immediate response is always to avoid the topic and go back 70 years..."

Funny you say Serbs shouldn't go back 70 years, but you say nothing of Tudjman renaming streets after WWII war criminals, inviting Dinko Sakic, commander of Jasenovac back to Zagreb. You dummy, Croats won't let Serbs forget about WWII.

"...Croatia illegally separated...ok ok...so we announce and declare independence, we are recognized and so what..."

So what? You conveniently forgot to mention the Serbs who were fired from their jobs, their property destroyed and many murdered after your independence declaration. Overnight, Serbs, many of whom had relatives butchered by the Ustasha, found themselves in a hostile environment. They had no say whatsoever. Tell me what would the world have thought if Germany started flying the swastika and renaming streets after Himmler and Gobbels?

"...Serbs were not invited, thats your excuse and retarded attempt to justify Krajina as Serbia!"

Learn history. Serbs WERE invited by the A-H Empire to protect your sorry asses.

"Milan Nedic stole government money and supported Cetniks in WW11 and yet you say you were victims...ok..believe what you want!"

He should be applauded for that. The Chetniks were the only ones fighting for a just cause in WWII Yugoslavia.

From Croatian Canadian: "you've always avoided Serbian responsibility and you continue to re-hash the 40's"

Wrong. I have never run from Serbian wrongdoing. War criminals should be prosecuted regardless of ethnic origin. The difference between you and me is you never admit Croatian guilt for anything.

Quit re-hashing the 40s? Maybe Croats should accept responsibility for their crimes. Should the Jews forget the Holocaust or the Armenians forget the slaughter of their people by the Turks?

"...Beograd was the first "Judenfrei" city in Europe and yet, you claim Ustase were bad...Milan Nedic was supplying Cetniks from his government...learn history...tele!: "

There you go again. Comparing Milan Nedic to the Ustasha is a commonly used Croatian tactic when you refuse to accept responsibity for Croat crimes. Nedic was implemented after the Nazis bombed Belgrade. Conversely, the Ustasha was the official gov't. of Croatia and welcomed Hitler into Zagreb with a parade. There was no resistance. Croatians embraced the Nazis while the Serbs formed the first resistance in Europe. Nedic became head of the quisling gov't. because Hitler was killing 100 Serbs for every German soldier killed and 50 for every one wounded. He discouraged any resistance because so many Serb civilians were being killed.

No credible historian agrees with your Ustasha version of history. You belong to a revisionist minority who is being laughed at by the rest of the world.

...and another thing. go through people's comments on here and one very revealing truth is identified...as soon as someone bring's up the recent history and the recent atrocities that occurred at the hands of Serbs in Croatia and BiH, the immediate response isn't to provide healthy discussions and to talk about things in a positive manner, no, the immediate response is always to avoid the topic and go back 70 years....and...you skip through the order of events which include Serbia attacked Croatia and in retaliation, Croatia aimed to re-gain their OWN territory during WAR...a WAR that SERBS inflicted and started in Croatia and against Croatian civilians...you always tend to avoid these very key points just to suit your own convoluted version of...Croatia illegally separated...ok ok...so we announce and declare independence, we are recognized and so what, Serbs in Knin can forcefully takeover a police station and then claim it is now Serbia...and thats legal?

I repeat, this is why its difficult to have a healthy and normal discussion. Things will never change between our people. You don't see the wrong in what your people have done on Croatian soil and you make things up as you go saying "Serbs were INVITED"...give me a damn break...Serbs were not invited, thats your excuse and retarded attempt to justify Krajina as Serbia!

njegos - you've always avoided Serbian responsibility and you continue to re-hash the 40's while we just leaped into 2015, do you see how backwards you are?

If Serbia had issues with what happened back then and they want reparations, set the record straight and ensure it is written in the history books then I suggest you take it up with your people and get them to bring the case to the International community. You constantly bring up WW11 and many of you inject some made up numbers of 800,000 while there hasn't ever been proof of 80,000.

I've always said the atrocities Ustase committed were disgusting but with that said, that was many moons ago and your people should do more to bring attention to the matter diplomatically, for once and for all, just as Croatia is doing today.

Both you and Ari are ridiculous but also typical...non-stop repetitive false claims while you have yet to admit your wrongdoings recently! Do you see how idiotic that is?

Here's a very honest question for you...and for Ari, I ask that you be honest.

Who was the first European city that claimed to be Judenfrei (Jewish Free) during WW11...answer: Beograd! This is a fact and....they even made a postage stamp you can find online today!

Do you see how hypocritical you are, you don't even know history...Beograd was the first "Judenfrei" city in Europe and yet, you claim Ustase were bad...Milan Nedic was supplying Cetniks from his government...learn history...tele!

From Croatian Canadian: "I used to think the majority of Serbs are ok, you folks are changing my mind. get a damn life..."

This coming from someone who has stated Croat superiority over Serbs, made degrading comments toward Jews, minimized the Jewish Holocaust, minimized the number of Serbs killed by the Ustasha, etc.

Croatian Canadian, you are the very reason Serbs on this site speak out. You refuse to accept responsibility for your country's ugly past. You distort reality and try to rewrite history.

There was a time during our debates that you attempted to portray yourself as somewhat level-headed. Then you just couldn't help yourself. You began referring to Serbs as inferior to Croats and degrading Jews. Yes, you showed your true colors.

This shouldn't surprise anyone on this site because you were taught by proud members of the Ustasha regime whose stated policy during WWII was to eliminate Serbs and Jews.

You are a lost cause Ustasha Boy. As long as you keep espousing Croat superiority over another ethnic group and try to rewrite history, there will always be those of us out there to correct you. Much to your dismay, the Ustasha didn't kill us all.

Maybe at times you have taken my comments as nationalist but I assure you that it is only reactionary to the behavior of the regions political elite towards Serbia as a country and Serbs as people. Croatia's supposedly "moderate" president decorates a Bosnian Muslim terrorist, in Macedonia even there have been billboards popping up throughout Skoplje demanding for the full stop of "Serbian assimilation". In Montenegro, Serbian Priests just received a notice of exile, despite the fact that they lived there for over 22 years!

Then we know what the Albanian separatists are doing in Kosovo-Metohija with their repeated attempts to steal/destroy more property and homes they never even invested in.

The hit is out and it's on Serbia. The political elite in Belgrade today is SO accommodating to Serbia's enemies and like vultures they want to pick it apart even more.

^That's the disposition I take everytime I comment here. There are forces backed by large segments of populations in ex-Yu who wish to see Serbia completely wiped off the map.

This act only confirms what I have been saying for a long time that Josipovic is only another Ustasha. He is in the last throws of being a president and the mask does not need to be worn any more.
For those that think this a decoration for an ally against the Serbs, think again. This is the Croats trying to mitigate the hatred the Bosniaks have against them after their allies stabbed them in the back during the war in Bosnia. This was the time in central Bosnia when Croats locked up Bosniaks in cellars and set their home alight burning people alive. They went on a killing spree that would have made Ante Pavelic pleased, but like all cowards the tables were turned and defeat was staring them in the eyes to the point these Croats had to beg Serbs to save 20 000 of their people. Pity Karadzic was merciful.
The problem is the Croats are now only a minority in Bosnia and within a few years the Bosniaks will make sure they don’t even exist there. I’ll even be prepared to give Ganic a medal then for the good work.

Gimme a damn break...are you that mentally challenged that you cannot for the life of you understand Serbs were aggressors, they attacked people in Croatia and BiH...its all out in the open for you and you still ask why Croats don't feel remorse...why should they?

Oh my...you're such pussssies....it just never stops man, the continuous whining and victim card that just gets sickening.

I used to think the majority of Serbs are ok, you folks are changing my mind. get a damn life....its seriously pathetic to read your comments here portraying Serbia as some powerhouse while their starving, committing crimes at record numbers and their society is starving for change...it will never change as long as you live like this!

Ridiculous, learn your history. Prince Paul of Yugoslavia signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler and within mere hours, he was overthrown by the people in Belgrade. Germany's response to this was to bomb Belgrade, divide Yugoslavia, empowering Croatians and Albanian clients (sound familiar?) and DIRECTLY militarily occupying Serbia.

So now its Serbia's fault that a much stronger power occupied and divided up the country, and because of that occupation, Serbia is responsible for any crimes committed against Jews? Serbia's response to this occupation was that it made up the overwhelming majority of the 2 largest anti-fascist groups in the region, the Chetniks and Partizans. And yes the Chetniks were anti-fascists and even had 2000 Bulgarian Jews fighting in their ranks http://www.jta.org/1942/08/09/archive/two-thousand-bulgarian-jews-reported-fighting-with-chetniks-in-serbia

Milan Nedic was literally one guy Germany found to act as an intermediary for the direct military Nazi occupation. He had no following, no supporters, he was imposed. Serbia for its part did everything it could to defeat Nazism in the Balkans.

Serbia literally has absolutely 0 responsibility for any crimes that were committed on its territory in the name of Nazism because the majority of those crimes were committed against Serbs. Croatia on the other hand wasn't bombed, wasn't occupied but was a strong ally of Nazi Germany. Big, big difference.

njegos - you've always avoided Serbian responsibility and you continue to re-hash the 40's while we just leaped into 2015, do you see how backwards you are?

If Serbia had issues with what happened back then and they want reparations, set the record straight and ensure it is written in the history books then I suggest you take it up with your people and get them to bring the case to the International community. You constantly bring up WW11 and many of you inject some made up numbers of 800,000 while there hasn't ever been proof of 80,000.

I've always said the atrocities Ustase committed were disgusting but with that said, that was many moons ago and your people should do more to bring attention to the matter diplomatically, for once and for all, just as Croatia is doing today.

Both you and Ari are ridiculous but also typical...non-stop repetitive false claims while you have yet to admit your wrongdoings recently! Do you see how idiotic that is?

Here's a very honest question for you...and for Ari, I ask that you be honest.

Who was the first European city that claimed to be Judenfrei (Jewish Free) during WW11...answer: Beograd! This is a fact and....they even made a postage stamp you can find online today!

Do you see how hypocritical you are, you don't even know history...Beograd was the first "Judenfrei" city in Europe and yet, you claim Ustase were bad...Milan Nedic was supplying Cetniks from his government...learn history...tele!

you said: "Comparing Milan Nedic to the Ustasha is a commonly used Croatian tactic when you refuse to accept responsibity for Croat crimes"

Nedic was supplying Cetniks with Yugo money...if you don't see wrong in that you aren't objective...supplying Cetniks is to supply velika Srbija concept!

This recent war was 100% initiated by Serbs and their aggression, no two ways about it. You can deny this as long as you wish, the facts remain clear on this topic.

As per WW11, I'm not proud of atrocities but I am proud Croats refused communism. I cannot explain why Croatians contributed to Hitlers plan but I can assure you that the majority are not ok with what happened.

You have your version, we have ours...if Tudjman did his things...Serbia has done as much or more to prove they aren't taking accountability for their crimes...not even worth a discussion.

So what? You conveniently forgot to mention the Serbs who were fired from their jobs, their property destroyed and many murdered after your independence declaration. Overnight, Serbs, many of whom had relatives butchered by the Ustasha, found themselves in a hostile environment. They had no say whatsoever. Tell me what would the world have thought if Germany started flying the swastika and renaming streets after Himmler and Gobbels?

This is the Croats trying to mitigate the hatred the Bosniaks have against them after their allies stabbed them in the back during the war in Bosnia. This was the time in central Bosnia when Croats locked up Bosniaks in cellars and set their home alight burning people alive. They went on a killing spree that would have made Ante Pavelic pleased, but like all cowards the tables were turned and defeat was staring them in the eyes to the point these Croats had to beg Serbs to save 20 000 of their people.

Wrong. I have never run from Serbian wrongdoing. War criminals should be prosecuted regardless of ethnic origin. The difference between you and me is you never admit Croatian guilt for anything.

Quit re-hashing the 40s? Maybe Croats should accept responsibility for their crimes. Should the Jews forget the Holocaust or the Armenians forget the slaughter of their people by the Turks?

"...Beograd was the first "Judenfrei" city in Europe and yet, you claim Ustase were bad...Milan Nedic was supplying Cetniks from his government...learn history...tele!: "

There you go again. Comparing Milan Nedic to the Ustasha is a commonly used Croatian tactic when you refuse to accept responsibity for Croat crimes. Nedic was implemented after the Nazis bombed Belgrade. Conversely, the Ustasha was the official gov't. of Croatia and welcomed Hitler into Zagreb with a parade. There was no resistance. Croatians embraced the Nazis while the Serbs formed the first resistance in Europe. Nedic became head of the quisling gov't. because Hitler was killing 100 Serbs for every German soldier killed and 50 for every one wounded. He discouraged any resistance because so many Serb civilians were being killed.

No credible historian agrees with your Ustasha version of history. You belong to a revisionist minority who is being laughed at by the rest of the world.

There you go again with your Velika Srbija complex again. The Chetniks were formed to fight the Nazis and Ustasha after the Yugo army capitulated. They were formed to defend Serbs from being slaughtered and not to create a 'greater' anything.

"As per WW11, I'm not proud of atrocities but I am proud Croats refused communism. I cannot explain why Croatians contributed to Hitlers plan but I can assure you that the majority are not ok with what happened."

Croats didn't refuse communism? Did you forget about Tito? My god, do you really believe what you write? And what do you mean you can't explain why Croats sided with Hitler. It's because that was the fastest path to an ethnically pure Croatia and the elimination of all Serbs which was their stated goal. No real mystery there. And the only thing most Croats are not OK with is that Hitler lost. When this became inevitable, many thousands of Ustasha joined the Partizans. This wasn't because they believed in the communist ideology, but rather to save their butts, which goes back to one of your earlier comments about trustworthiness.

So now its Serbia's fault that a much stronger power occupied and divided up the country, and because of that occupation, Serbia is responsible for any crimes committed against Jews? Serbia's response to this occupation was that it made up the overwhelming majority of the 2 largest anti-fascist groups in the region, the Chetniks and Partizans. And yes the Chetniks were anti-fascists and even had 2000 Bulgarian Jews fighting in their ranks http://www.jta.org/1942/08/09/archive/two-thousand-bulgarian-jews-reported-fighting-with-chetniks-in-serbia

Milan Nedic was literally one guy Germany found to act as an intermediary for the direct military Nazi occupation. He had no following, no supporters, he was imposed. Serbia for its part did everything it could to defeat Nazism in the Balkans.

Serbia literally has absolutely 0 responsibility for any crimes that were committed on its territory in the name of Nazism because the majority of those crimes were committed against Serbs. Croatia on the other hand wasn't bombed, wasn't occupied but was a strong ally of Nazi Germany. Big, big difference.

well...this years bonehead of the year award come in February...congrats to Quelle Supris for making this bonehead comment: "Their pervasive racism and xenophobia towards Serbs and Serbia is exceedingly difficult to comprehend"...hahaha...really you Turkish dummy! How so? How is it difficult to understand why Croats hate those that had tried to take their land and make it their own? Vukovar and Knin are 2 examples....

you people blabber about fascists while you idolize Milosevic, Karadzic, Seselj and soo many other brutal murderers and yet, Croats should feel remorse? Gimme a damn break...are you that mentally challenged that you cannot for the life of you understand Serbs were aggressors, they attacked people in Croatia and BiH...its all out in the open for you and you still ask why Croats don't feel remorse...why should they?

Oh my...you're such pussssies....it just never stops man, the continuous whining and victim card that just gets sickening.

I used to think the majority of Serbs are ok, you folks are changing my mind. get a damn life....its seriously pathetic to read your comments here portraying Serbia as some powerhouse while their starving, committing crimes at record numbers and their society is starving for change...it will never change as long as you live like this!

From Croatian Canadian: "you've always avoided Serbian responsibility and you continue to re-hash the 40's"

Wrong. I have never run from Serbian wrongdoing. War criminals should be prosecuted regardless of ethnic origin. The difference between you and me is you never admit Croatian guilt for anything.

Quit re-hashing the 40s? Maybe Croats should accept responsibility for their crimes. Should the Jews forget the Holocaust or the Armenians forget the slaughter of their people by the Turks?

"...Beograd was the first "Judenfrei" city in Europe and yet, you claim Ustase were bad...Milan Nedic was supplying Cetniks from his government...learn history...tele!: "

There you go again. Comparing Milan Nedic to the Ustasha is a commonly used Croatian tactic when you refuse to accept responsibity for Croat crimes. Nedic was implemented after the Nazis bombed Belgrade. Conversely, the Ustasha was the official gov't. of Croatia and welcomed Hitler into Zagreb with a parade. There was no resistance. Croatians embraced the Nazis while the Serbs formed the first resistance in Europe. Nedic became head of the quisling gov't. because Hitler was killing 100 Serbs for every German soldier killed and 50 for every one wounded. He discouraged any resistance because so many Serb civilians were being killed.

No credible historian agrees with your Ustasha version of history. You belong to a revisionist minority who is being laughed at by the rest of the world.

From CC: "...as soon as someone bring's up the recent history and the recent atrocities that occurred at the hands of Serbs ...the immediate response is always to avoid the topic and go back 70 years..."

Funny you say Serbs shouldn't go back 70 years, but you say nothing of Tudjman renaming streets after WWII war criminals, inviting Dinko Sakic, commander of Jasenovac back to Zagreb. You dummy, Croats won't let Serbs forget about WWII.

"...Croatia illegally separated...ok ok...so we announce and declare independence, we are recognized and so what..."

So what? You conveniently forgot to mention the Serbs who were fired from their jobs, their property destroyed and many murdered after your independence declaration. Overnight, Serbs, many of whom had relatives butchered by the Ustasha, found themselves in a hostile environment. They had no say whatsoever. Tell me what would the world have thought if Germany started flying the swastika and renaming streets after Himmler and Gobbels?

"...Serbs were not invited, thats your excuse and retarded attempt to justify Krajina as Serbia!"

Learn history. Serbs WERE invited by the A-H Empire to protect your sorry asses.

"Milan Nedic stole government money and supported Cetniks in WW11 and yet you say you were victims...ok..believe what you want!"

He should be applauded for that. The Chetniks were the only ones fighting for a just cause in WWII Yugoslavia.

Once in Croatia when I was really intoxicated on some Croatian wine, I mistakenly "decorated" one of their former Ustasha altar boys in the park thinking it was the 4th of July and he was Kim Kardashian.

I am surprised that Croatia was let into the EU. It is still stuck in denial about its past.

Remember what Chetnik Dujic stated: Seselj is to become Chetnik leader who's role is to expel Croats, Bosniaks & Albanians from the region. Dujic also mentioned his return would only occur when the last Jew was removed from the so called territory of a Greater Serbia. Beograd the Balkan fascist capital of Europe. Bloody idiots !

More from Croatian Canadian: "Nedic was supplying Cetniks with Yugo money...if you don't see wrong in that you aren't objective...supplying Cetniks is to supply velika Srbija concept!"

There you go again with your Velika Srbija complex again. The Chetniks were formed to fight the Nazis and Ustasha after the Yugo army capitulated. They were formed to defend Serbs from being slaughtered and not to create a 'greater' anything.

"As per WW11, I'm not proud of atrocities but I am proud Croats refused communism. I cannot explain why Croatians contributed to Hitlers plan but I can assure you that the majority are not ok with what happened."

Croats didn't refuse communism? Did you forget about Tito? My god, do you really believe what you write? And what do you mean you can't explain why Croats sided with Hitler. It's because that was the fastest path to an ethnically pure Croatia and the elimination of all Serbs which was their stated goal. No real mystery there. And the only thing most Croats are not OK with is that Hitler lost. When this became inevitable, many thousands of Ustasha joined the Partizans. This wasn't because they believed in the communist ideology, but rather to save their butts, which goes back to one of your earlier comments about trustworthiness.

You really need to put down the Croatian Mythology books and start from scratch. It's not too late.

The Croatian political classes and a large proportion of their population are and have been for decades morally bankrupt. Their pervasive racism and xenophobia towards Serbs and Serbia is exceedingly difficult to comprehend and lack of remorse for their crimes from 1941 up to and including 1995 is breath-taking. So this finger in the eye is no surprise either. Decorating fascists is about their level.

...and another thing. go through people's comments on here and one very revealing truth is identified...as soon as someone bring's up the recent history and the recent atrocities that occurred at the hands of Serbs in Croatia and BiH, the immediate response isn't to provide healthy discussions and to talk about things in a positive manner, no, the immediate response is always to avoid the topic and go back 70 years....and...you skip through the order of events which include Serbia attacked Croatia and in retaliation, Croatia aimed to re-gain their OWN territory during WAR...a WAR that SERBS inflicted and started in Croatia and against Croatian civilians...you always tend to avoid these very key points just to suit your own convoluted version of...Croatia illegally separated...ok ok...so we announce and declare independence, we are recognized and so what, Serbs in Knin can forcefully takeover a police station and then claim it is now Serbia...and thats legal?

I repeat, this is why its difficult to have a healthy and normal discussion. Things will never change between our people. You don't see the wrong in what your people have done on Croatian soil and you make things up as you go saying "Serbs were INVITED"...give me a damn break...Serbs were not invited, thats your excuse and retarded attempt to justify Krajina as Serbia!

Milan Nedic stole government money and supported Cetniks in WW11 and yet you say you were victims...ok..believe what you want!

@croation canadian, name calling??really??? O.k. I'll play.

your propensity to address my comment lacks even that of a halfwit. I get it, you the type of person who's narrow vision blurs his own comments. If you look at the evidence and you look at the route at which war achieved, you'll then see, that Serbia did NOT want war, their hand was forced.. Remember something you wannabe, all this was driven from Germany, the US and the vatican. The evidence is out there...you need to find it. Thanks for 1) speaking in absolutes..only frustrated, know-nothings speak in those terms 2) displaying your racist ways and showing your true colors and finally, just being a dick..congratulations from kindergarten..

njegos - you've always avoided Serbian responsibility and you continue to re-hash the 40's while we just leaped into 2015, do you see how backwards you are?

If Serbia had issues with what happened back then and they want reparations, set the record straight and ensure it is written in the history books then I suggest you take it up with your people and get them to bring the case to the International community. You constantly bring up WW11 and many of you inject some made up numbers of 800,000 while there hasn't ever been proof of 80,000.

I've always said the atrocities Ustase committed were disgusting but with that said, that was many moons ago and your people should do more to bring attention to the matter diplomatically, for once and for all, just as Croatia is doing today.

Both you and Ari are ridiculous but also typical...non-stop repetitive false claims while you have yet to admit your wrongdoings recently! Do you see how idiotic that is?

Here's a very honest question for you...and for Ari, I ask that you be honest.

Who was the first European city that claimed to be Judenfrei (Jewish Free) during WW11...answer: Beograd! This is a fact and....they even made a postage stamp you can find online today!

Do you see how hypocritical you are, you don't even know history...Beograd was the first "Judenfrei" city in Europe and yet, you claim Ustase were bad...Milan Nedic was supplying Cetniks from his government...learn history...tele!

@ Croation Canadian. This recent war was 100% initiated by Serbs and their aggression, no two ways about it. You can deny this as long as you wish, the facts remain clear on this topic.

What are you smoking?? Their is nothing clear on the topic??? it's convoluted, difficult and mired in lies, deception and horrendously slanted political journalism. Serbia NEVER wanted to go to war... Izebegovic and Tujdman on the other hand, had a choice and made a choice..or should I say, had that choice made for them.

you said: "Comparing Milan Nedic to the Ustasha is a commonly used Croatian tactic when you refuse to accept responsibity for Croat crimes"
